Making a Turned Cowboy Hat

By Ray Lanham with Guilio Marcolongo

 

Aussie turner, Guilio Marcolongo begins his attempt at teaching me how to
turn a wooden cowboy hat. Guilio graciously gave me this block of Costal
Banksia to use for my first hat. It had been removed from a golf course on
Prince Phillip Island, just South of Melbourne, because it had been infected
by borers. The blank weighed over 100 pounds!

 

We first began by laying out a wide brim and the center section of the
hat. Cut down two weeks previously, the blank had been sealed with stretch
plastic to keep it from drying out.

 

A hole for a worm screw in the center of a 3" faceplate was first
drilled.

 

The small face plate with the worm screw was then screwed in by hand.

 

Four long screws were then inserted into the blank through holes in the
faceplate.
